Appreciate pv magazine USA covering the Energy Backup launch this week - a $0-down battery subscription starting at $98/month, available in 25 states, with installation, monitoring, and maintenance all included. Battery demand is here and this is how we're meeting it. https://lnkd.in/gbnGuxBB

Battery storage isn’t a niche add-on anymore. In 2023, 14% of U.S. residential solar installs included storage. By 2024, that had doubled to 28%, with Wood Mackenzie forecasting 35% in 2025. Customers are asking about backup power, and installers need a simple way to answer. Energy Backup has been in market with Palmetto partners for almost a year. Now, we’re bringing it into the spotlight. It helps partners offer home battery backup with no upfront cost, one predictable monthly payment, and service handled by Palmetto, including maintenance, repairs, replacements, and proactive monitoring for the full term. Battery demand is here and Energy Backup makes it easier to meet it. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gsna5tWN

It's June... which means solar panels installed right now are activating at peak production. Our satisfaction data reflects that. Palmetto customers in northern states who activated in spring or summer reported NPS scores 14 points higher than those who activated in fall or winter. The panels are the same. The difference is what that first electric bill looks like. Spring and summer activators see immediate production gains. Fall and winter activators are starting during the slowest months of the year. Savings are real, but they take longer to show up. Full breakdown on the Palmetto blog: https://lnkd.in/gAM_QhTt

Thanks to CleanTechnica for covering the story and the role affordability plays in accelerating heat pump adoption: https://lnkd.in/guA77pC7
